The philosophy at Searsucker is simple: we take an honest approach to making great food. Chef Brian Malarkey, Top Chef finalist and the man leading the way, has crafted an eclectic menu in a comfortable space where anyone can enjoy a fabulous meal at one of the finest San Diego restaurants. Located at 5th and Market, Searsucker sits on the busiest hub of the famous Gaslamp Quarter. And the restaurant is more than ready to become the neighborhood’s favorite stop for a gourmet meal.
Searsucker is a thoroughly San Diego-style restaurant. Chef Malarkey returns to his adopted city to create a fantastic eatery full of the local fare. The menu includes fresh seafood caught just minutes away on the San Diego coast, as well as locally brewed lagers and ales on tap at the bar. Thomas Schoos’ airy design of the 7,000 square foot restaurant features an open kitchen and only furniture to divide the lounge from the restaurant. You won’t find many walls or barriers here. Friends and family can chat with chefs and servers as easily as they can with each other. Searsucker isn’t a place to get away; this is a place to get together.
Even with all the hype over the restaurant’s highly anticipated opening and the celebrity status of its leader Chef Malarkey, what makes Searsucker great is its quality cuisine and welcoming atmosphere. As Malarkey himself said, “I wanted to build a place where people can come, eat good food and hang out with friends as long as they want.” Visit the newest and greatest restaurant in the Gaslamp, and let us know what you think.
